navigating the derby dev mail archives

Would appreciate tips on how people navigate the mail archives. I'm 
trying to get the handle on an archived message so that others can refer 
to it easily. I have found the message by traversing:

main Derby web page
  -> Community tab
      -> Derby mail lists link
          -> Archives mod_mbox link
              -> Browse by month
                  -> Sort by date

I found the message I wanted, but when I clicked on it, I didn't seen 
any indication of what its handle is. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
-Rick

We should put nabble on the web page.  I think most of us prefer this 
over mod_mbox.

In the mod_mbox browser, look for the "Message view" link above the 
"From" line in the post. That should get you the specific handle.

I use Nabble to search, like Deepa mentioned. I also often use google 
site searches. For example, this looks for all the posts to derby-user 
about 'odbc':

    odbc site:mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-user/

Often the results will display the post with the complete handle.

Thanks, Deepa. Using nabble, I can get my hands on a web page which 
displays a thread-initiating message and all of its replies. That's 
useful. But I can't seem to tease message handles out of this display. 
Alas, I'm still muddled.

Regards,

Using Nabble works for me and it also allows some searching. The link
is http://www.nabble.com/Derby-f356.html. Hope this helps.
